Returned to CleVegas late last night after 12 hours of travel. After finally getting a taste of The Kootenai on Thursday, it was tough to break camp. The big river may still be swollen, but the resident rainbows and cutts are fat and hungry! Can't say that I've ever fished a river as big as 25,000 CFS, let alone caught fish on dry flies at such flows, so this was a first for me. If our day on the water water was any indication, the Kootenai is going to be THE place to be for western trout fishing this August and September.
Wanted to get a quick update up and, most importantly, share some pictures, before I give a complete summary, which I plan to do over the next couple of days. Meanwhile, leg 2 of the crusade begins Wednesday night, and there's still a good deal of prep and planning to be done for that as well.
